Camping in the Sequoias

Kenny and I ventured up to the Sequoia National Park for the first time in August and were amazed at what a hidden beauty it was. After driving through miles of farmland, past houses that were miles from any store, we entered the park and had to keep driving farther. Although we were only three hours from LA, it felt like much farther. It was at leat 20 degrees cooler and everything was green and beautiful.

Our first stop was the Sequoia Grove, with dozens of the giant trees that are thousands of years old!

The campsite was cozy, right beside a flowering meadow. We cooked all of our meals on our camp stove (more on that below), except for lunch we went over and checked out the little diner with live music that was down the road.

We recently discovered that Kenny's camp stove was given to his Grandpa to use after Hurricane Camille. They were living in Gulfport, MS at the time.
